Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Yue Shan Appears Again!

Chen Yuan inwardly exclaimed, ‘Just as I thought.’

It must be about the deserters that had drawn the attention of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, as this was indeed their responsibility.

“The Heavenly Patrol Bureau specially sent someone to come here? Should I perhaps…” Chen Yuan spoke softly.

Li Mingqi glanced at Chen Yuan:

“It’s merely an inquiry, nothing serious, no need to worry about it, as long as you hand over the heads of those horse bandits to them, that’s all.”

“We did a job for them; there won’t be just some verbal commendation, right?”

...

Chen Yuan chuckled.

“Anyway, I haven’t seen any indication that they intend to give anything, but the fellow from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau is still in town if you want to try your luck.”

“My lord jests, the people from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau always think too highly of themselves, they’re not easy to talk to, I don’t have the ability to get them to give any rewards specifically…”

As he spoke, Chen Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

If the person from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau had not left yet, then…

there was no need to make another trip to the Prefecture City; he could definitely try to probe.

“There may not be any substantial reward, but the government has still recorded a merit for you. Once you step into the Bone Refining Level, that official position will justifiably be yours.”

“With both merit and strength, even if someone speaks ill of you, it won’t affect the overall situation.”

Li Mingqi picked up his teacup and took a light sip.

“With my lord here, I have never worried about anything,” Chen Yuan said with a smile.

“Hehe…”

“Then I shall take my leave first,” Chen Yuan stood up.

Li Mingqi’s gaze fixed on the water in the teacup, gently blew twice on it, and then nodded slightly.

…

After returning to the Arrest Room, Chen Yuan immediately summoned Wang Ping and several Government Officials, instructing them to find out where the guy from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau was.

With the Arrest Room in action, it took less than an hour for news to come.

That person was currently in the Yanyu Building!

After arranging everything in the Government Office in an orderly fashion, Chen Yuan set off for the Yanyu Building with Wang Ping.

“Brother Yuan, you said before that there’s more to the Yanyu Building than meets the eye. Is there some sort of trickery there?” Wang Ping whispered to Chen Yuan after they left the Government Office.

In the past few days, he had taken Chen Yuan’s words to heart, warning his father not to go to the Yanyu Building, and had been pondering it in his mind, but he couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

What could be wrong with a place full of fireworks and women?

“It’s not that the Yanyu Building is unusual, it’s that Miss Xiaoyue is no ordinary person…” Chen Yuan’s gaze flickered.

As for the specifics, Chen Yuan did not say, because he was also not very clear, it was just intuition, an instinctual feeling that Miss Xiaoyue was not simple,

Her looks could only be considered top-notch, definitely not devastatingly beautiful.

How could she possibly make so many people infatuated?

And keep Wang Ping thinking about her day and night for who knows how long.

In a short while, Chen Yuan and Wang Ping arrived at the Yanyu Building.

The familiar sound of a flute was heard as soon as they approached.

Chen Yuan entered with an unchanged expression, and a young servant immediately came forward with a smile.

Ignoring the servant, Chen Yuan surveyed the inside of the hall and ultimately fixed his gaze on a secluded corner, where a burly man clad in brown clothing, with armor draped over his shoulders, sat.

With a square face and a sturdy build, one could feel a sense of oppression from a distance.

No one dared to sit near him, preferring to stand rather than to get close.

The burly man, however, seemed unconcerned, holding a cup of wine in his hand and watching the women in front dance with Red Silk, occasionally taking a sip.

Chen Yuan’s eyes narrowed, he remembered this burly man, who had made a move when the Government Office surrounded the Huang Family, tremendously fierce with a Heavy Blade.

In their first clash, Huang Xing had been forced into a disadvantage.

Afterwards, he hurriedly left to pursue the Demon of the No-Life Sect, and before leaving, he had even made an appearance with Master Zhang.

With a smile on his face, Chen Yuan approached slowly and said with a clasped fist:

“Would this gentleman mind if I take a seat here?”

Yue Shan’s eyes narrowed, and he turned his head slowly to size Chen Yuan up and down:

“It’s you, take a seat.”

“You still recognize me, brother?” Chen Yuan slightly raised an eyebrow.

“I remember you, your strength was quite good, it’s just the realm… huh? You’ve become an arrest officer now?” Yue Shan was slightly taken aback when he saw the distinctive markings on Chen Yuan’s uniform that differed from those of an ordinary government official.

“Thanks to the favor of others, I’ve taken this position.”

Chen Yuan said with a smile.

“So you’ve already reached the Bone Refining Level?”

Yue Shan squinted his eyes. To have such progress in just over a month, even if he were in the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, that would be extraordinary.

What a pity to have become an arrest officer.

“I luckily had a breakthrough the other day.”

“There’s no such thing as luck in the path of cultivation,” Yue Shan turned his head, looking at a dancing girl and spoke softly.

“Hehe…”

“Did you come looking for me specifically?”

Yue Shan asked as though he were merely stating a fact.

Chen Yuan did not conceal his intentions, stating directly:

“Yes, finding you did take some effort on my part.”

“Stop with the ‘sir’ this and ‘sir’ that, my surname is Yue, given name Shan.”

“Brother Yue.”

Chen Yuan did not act arrogantly. With the strength that this robust man had shown before, he was definitely one of the very strong existences within the Bone Refining Level—even though Chen Yuan himself had already entered Bone Refining.

He didn’t have much confidence he could defeat him.

“What did you want to see me for?”

Yue Shan asked casually.

“The County Magistrate told me that Brother Yue has come to investigate the matter concerning those bandits? To tell you the truth, those bandits were eliminated by myself. If Brother Yue has any questions, just ask and I’ll tell you everything.”

“Yuan will certainly leave nothing unsaid.”

Chen Yuan’s face remained smiling.

“Chen Yuan…” Yue Shan mumbled under his breath, then chuckled and said:

“I won’t hide it from you, investigating those bandits is just a cover story. I’m merely taking a few days to rest. Those deserters are already dead, so they’re no longer of any value.”

“Ping’an County is not exactly a peaceful place to rest, though.”

Chen Yuan’s gaze shifted, focusing along with Yue Shan on what was in front of them.

“You seem to be hinting at something.”

Yue Shan said indifferently.

“I would like to ask what the Heavenly Patrol Bureau’s stance is towards the demon folk of the No-Life Sect?”

Chen Yuan fell silent for a moment, foregoing any probing and asked directly instead.

“Of course, it’s to eradicate them all!”

A flash of killing aura passed through Yue Shan’s eyes.

Hearing such a definitive answer, Chen Yuan fell silent for a moment and then said:

“This is not the place to talk. Tomorrow Chen Yuan will take the liberty of inviting Brother Yue for a private chat. As for tonight, Brother Yue, pick whichever girl or girls you like, and all expenses will be on me.”

“Oh?” There was a hint of amusement in Yue Shan’s eyes.

Watching the women dancing seductively on the high platform, trying to please the men below, Chen Yuan sighed softly:

“Life is not easy for these girls. If I can lend a hand, I won’t be stingy.”

“Moreover, serving Brother Yue would be their honor!”
